The new Savannah Cup
program is basically an automated program. The results as they appear
on our Golflink site are copied and pasted to a worksheet in the
program. A formula compares the Golflink numbers on the sheet with
Financial Members of the FNQVGA. If it is determined that a player
is either not financial or is a Visitor, an error message is
displayed. That person is removed from the results and the program
recalculates the positions of players in the field, including the
ties. This new result sheet is then copied and pasted to a second
page where the program then determines the points to be allocated to
each player and adds them to the player's progressive total.

In line with
Association policy, to gain points in this and other major
competitions, a player must be a financial member of the
FNQVGA. It is also important that the Association be aware of your
correct Golflink number.
If you change Clubs during the season, please inform the Secretary or
Treasurer of that change so that the Association records can be
updated.

Today
we welcomed 79 players (61 men and 18 ladies) to todays event which was a
single stableford and the players enjoyed a perfect sunny day, humidity was bearable and a cool breeze was present.

The
course was in good condition obviously with the rain over the last
week off the fairways although the grass had been cut was thick and
still holding moisture in some areas. In all good playing conditions
which made for a pleasant round of golf.

The
sponsor today was CAZALYS AFL and I thank them for their
complimentary meal vouchers and appreciate their continued support.

Our
golf schedule is now back to weekly games so look forward to catching
up with you all again and absent friends. Please put the word about
to your friends invite them to join you for a round of golf as all
visitors and new members are welcome.

It is the first of our Consistency rounds & is sponsored by Cazalys AFL.

The course is OK, but don't expect much run. The rough in the drains is high & they also have water in them, so avoid them as usual. Depending on what weather is experienced between now & then, hopefully the rough off the fairways will have been cut before our game & bunkers will be in play, but check the board before you go out.

Today a disappointing 51 men and 11
ladies bothered to make the trip to Atherton on what turned out to be
a perfect day for golf with slightly overcast skies and a cooling
breeze.

The course was presented in perfect condition with good
fairways and very good greens.With this in mind I urge our members
from the coastal clubs to plan early for our next game at Atherton on
26th April and arrange a car load to go up there.

The sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF
OF CAIRNS and I thank them for
the vouchers that the winners took home.

Claud Clark has an electric buggy with a new battery he's prepared to lend to anyone who needs one. If you want to take up his offer, give him a call. If you ask sweetly, he may even be prepared to sell it to you (for the right price).

83 men and 15 women played Half Moon
Bay today and although the weather was a little threatening at first
the sun broke through to give us a fine sunny day.

The sponsor for the event was GOLF
WORLD OF CAIRNS and we thank
them for the vouchers played for today and commend them to our
members.

We also thank Half
Moon Bay club for giving a carton of beer to be a prize drawn among
those who stay for the presentations. The winner today was Deon
Reddicliffe who took home the beer and a husband grinning like the
proverbial “Cheshire cat”.

Manager Greg Ferry
has indicated that this will be a regular feature when we play there
so it may well pay to stay and socialise a little longer.

It gives us no joy
to have to disqualify players for handing in a wrong card so please,
please check your card before you sign and hand it in, especially if
you have had a good score.

I have a left
handed 9 iron which was found on the course today so give me a ring
and I will be happy to return it.
